Following Litter Free Dorset's campaign and the devastating heath fires of 2022, Southern Co-op committed to permanently removing disposable BBQs from sale - and they now have 8000 surplus units in storage. To ensure that we find the best route for this stock, Litter Free Dorset and Dorset Council are working with W&S Recycling to repurpose/reuse the component parts and send a message to other retailers that they too should be making this move.
Join millions of people reducing their plastic waste.
Plastic Free July® is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution – so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities.
Will you be part of Plastic Free July by choosing to refuse single-use plastics?
It is important to remove old tree guards as they pollute the environment with broken plastic and prevent normal development of the trees.

From the Stop Food Waste Day website:
Prevent, Inspire and Repurpose
To celebrate Earth Day 2026, come and join us on the Minster Green on 25th April. Meet Wilding Wimborne and other Community Groups.
Recycling is a brilliant way to help our planet fight climate change. It’s a key part of the circular economy, helping to protect the earth’s dwindling natural resources. That’s what Global Recycling Day is all about – a day for the world to come together and put the planet first.
In March each year we focus the world’s attention on an important but often unseen climate change issue: food waste.
In 2026, Food Waste Action Week’s theme is Make Your Food Go Fuuuuuuuurther: for your pocket, for our planet.
By preventing food waste, using up leftovers, and recycling anything that can’t be eaten, we can unlock more value from the food we already have by helping it to stretch further.
We’d love you to be part of it.
